Unfortunately, like with some of these things in this game, there is no clear way to tell and no details on how we can (assuming we even could).

I'm not offended but simply calling it as I see it, that's all. I know some people have problems with them but others also don't. I remember when there was a big deal some made about the thumbstick rubbers wearing out. I didn't doubt they had problems with them in their scenarios but I still have an original controller with some minor wear. ....been used almost daily. .....no offense taken though.

Perhaps those many others are saying they are durable because, well, they are. I'm just speaking from personal experience as I'm sure those many others have as well.

No problem. Closing this thread since it's now resolved. Just send me or one of the other mods a PM when you need assistance like this and we'll be glad to help.

No problem it's done.

I can take care of it for you. Just delete the thread? Can you paste a link just so I make sure there's no mistake what we're talking about? Thanks.

Hi Rasta and welcome. I know there are a few people on here who prefer to play without auto aim and at least one posse I've seen recruiting who requires it. I'm sure they will be chiming in soon.

Seems like there are a lot of mixed signals here. Thanks everyone for adding input to help us all figure it out.

In case you missed the posts above, the challenge was on the 19th.

Makes no sense to me as the announcement came out the same day as the challenge. I suspect they may re-run it again. Folks should submit their feedback to R* if they are disappointed about missing this challenge: https://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption2/online/feedback?step=decd9bdb

FYI: This promo is still going on:

Welcome to the forums. I see you have a duplicate thread in the general section which I will delete for you now. I'm assuming it was a mistake.

Just a reminder to please keep the discussion about the game and related topics. The inappropriate remark has been removed and related references to it. Thanks. Note: Also added "spoiler" to the title for those who have not completed the story yet and are unaware of the events that take place.

I would suggest your BF contact R* Support and open a trouble ticket while you wait for a response here: https://support.rockstargames.com/categories/115001624507?redirect_lang=en_us&_ga=2.85381022.604088301.1553183302-1719606522.1525287356 Welcome to the forums btw.

/Here's the announcement. Sounds like it was on the same day but I guess it only ran for that day (3/19/19)? See below for a schedule of what’s still to come to the Red Dead Online Beta before our next full update: Today - Free Roam Event: Fishing Challenge March 26 - Target Races and additional PS4 early access content: Open Target Races April 2 - Showdown Mode: Up In Smoke April 9 - Showdown Mode: Plunder/

Seems there's a little confusion as to what these new mechanics will and won't allow. I am reposting the exact details that were provided by R*. While perhaps not clearly defined in regard to some concerns, I think it will help clear up others: They say there are more aspects to these new system that we still don;t know about so we'll just have to stay tuned. On another note, this other announcement caught my eye and may give us a clue as to when the next update will be: It says what's to come before the next full update and the last event on the schedule is April 9th. Updates seem to come every Tuesday lately and everything on this schedule is on that day of the week. If I was a betting man, I'd say April 16th is when we will see this update.

If they were to do anything to penalize people, I'm sure R* takes into account how many times a player is reported, by how many different people, the reporters own history, etc. I wouldn't worry about it in the slightest nor would I even engage in dialogue with people like that. .....and most certainly never send a msg via MS or PSN messaging as some have done to continue an argument. That's just asking for trouble.

I'm not saying there isn't a choice. If folks like turning and fighting rather than running, more power to them. Whatever floats their boat. I'm not suggesting folks should do anything different than what they do. I like PvP games. Not so much in RDO but I still enjoy it to a point. I don't particularly like player assassination missions though. Personally, I won't accept them myself but I also don't have a problem with those who do. If they want to waste their time chasing me though, that's their choice. I've led several on long rides just for them to come up empty handed in the end.

Abusing it how? The game allows the resets. I do it every time I reach the limit as the game notifies me.

.....and just to add (as I know this is an old thread), but it's more than just gold you get. IIRC, you also get 500 XP each time.

When I'm with a friend or a group, we usually divide up the bodies between us for gang hideouts, ambushes, etc. .....btw, I went ahead and deleted the dup thread for you.

Not sure if you read the entire article I linked to but it's way more than just the Hostility system. There is also going to a passive mode of sorts where you will be able to choose Offensive or Defensive. The Offensive status will work much the same as it does now in RDO while the Defensive option will provide even more balance to those who would prefer it. In Defensive mode, auto-aim will not work between human players. You won't be able to lock on to other players and they will not be able to lock on to you. You will also not be susceptible to critical hits (e.g. no one-shot headshots) but you will also not be able to deliver such damage on other players. Also, those who attack you will immediately be highlighted as enemies and you will be able to defend yourself via the Hostility system all while still remaining in Defense mode. ....so if you choose to escape, they still will not be able to lock onto you with auto aim. Griefers will still find ways to grief but I think these upcoming changes will really help especially those who are just starting out and may have found the balance quite lopsided and overwhelming. ....in other words, less chances of being steam rolled. I think a lot of your check boxes will get checked this Spring.

Welcome @NDX47

I guess the thing that bothers me is that it usually starts when I just traveled a long distance to recover a treasure, I'm in the middle of a string of missions, etc. Either way, it's always been easy XP for me as I've never been caught except the first time when I had no idea what was going on (never knew there was such a thing early on). One of my favorite spots is the long bridge over Bard's Crossing. I've made a stand there twice and both times held off posses that were after us. ....easy pickins when they try to cross and easy enough to get away again if they are sore losers. Unless I trip up along the way, my pursuers have never spawned close enough to even have a remote chance of catching me. .....but yeah, knowing the map does help.

The Newsbot article stated that all players could but that's not what the official statement said. However, I would agree it's open for interpretation.
